               Complaints issued by an inspector or orders issued by the minimum housing code enforcement
               officer shall be served upon persons either personally or by registered or certified
               mail; but if the whereabouts of such persons are unknown and the same cannot be ascertained
               by the minimum housing code enforcement officer in the exercise of reasonable diligence
               and the minimum housing code enforcement officer shall make an affidavit to that effect,
               then the serving of such complaint or order upon such person may be made by publishing
               the same at least once in a newspaper printed and published in the municipality and
